Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, icing sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs, flour, and baking powder. Knead the mixture thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.
-
Shape the dough into a round disk, then divide it into four triangular sections. For each section, cut a small hole in the center.
-
Place the triangles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
-
Once cooled, spread a layer of strawberry or peach jam onto one side of each triangle. Use the perforated triangles as the top layer. Sprinkle icing sugar over the top for decoration before serving.
